Glassfish web application not responding

Question

Is there a good reason for a simple web application (packaged as war) not to respond under glassfish 3? I deployed it on a remote server and launching the application from the console simply times out. Everything is telling me the application is deployed and enabled (glassfish console and asadmin commands alike), yet, entering its url gives no response. I checked ufw (OS is Ubuntu) and it is disabled.

Yes, it was a port problem. Entering the world of real servers you suddenly have to take into account that it is one thing what number a port has as a localhost and what number that same port has if accessed remotely. Law of relativity! I had to mess around with the remote server's router to do some port forwarding.
